Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4155195A1] Provided is a system including: a first flying object and a second flying object each configured to be capable of establishing a wireless communication link with a ground communication device arranged on ground, in which, when replacing the first flying object which has established a wireless communication link with the ground communication device using a first circularly polarized wave with the second flying object, the first flying object cuts the wireless communication link with the ground communication device after the second flying object has established a wireless communication link with the ground communication device using a second circularly polarized wave opposite to the first circularly polarized wave. Provided is a communication device mounted on a flying object, including: a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with a ground communication device arranged on ground; and a communication control unit configured to cause the wireless communication unit to make a switch between double-polarized communication which uses a right-handed circularly polarized wave and a left-handed circularly polarized wave and single-polarized communication which uses the right-handed circularly polarized wave or the left-handed circularly polarized wave, according to a predetermined condition.
